Howard Butterworth

Howard Butterworth is a renowned Scottish Artist and has lived and painted professionally in Northern Scotland since 1968. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother supported him over the years and his work can be found in her personal collection.
Howard captures the atmospheric light and colours of Scotland in all moods and seasons as only an artist painting outdoors can. His description of his style of painting as "emotional realism" conveys the sense of being in a particular place at a particular moment in time and the experience and feeling of Nature''s constantly changing colours and light.
